You have at least two options.  One you can get a copy of DFS (MS-DOS)
which is a pc-nfs clone, or you can get a copy of Beame & Whiteside's
I don't know the product name but it is also a pc-nfs clone.  DFS was
specifically engineered for the EXOS-205 card.  DFS also will handle you
remote printing requirements.  You need only specify the Unix command
that you want you LPT1/2/3 to be re-directed and any options if any.

Any technical questions about DFS, please contact me.
